SLPO Warrington V Giants Chit Chat

Quote: " BROWN READY FOR WARRINGTON CHALLENGE

Huddersfield Giants Head Coach Nathan Brown insists his side are ready to ‘hit the ground running’ this week as they prepare for the challenge of Warrington Wolves at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday (6.15pm kick off).

The claret and gold progressed to the next round of the play-offs following a thrilling 18-12 victory over Crusaders RL; however Brown admitted the side will have to step up a notch against the Challenge Cup holders.

“At this stage of the competition you know you’re going to be up against quality sides, they are all there on merit and you know they are all dangerous.

“It’s obviously going to be no different at Warrington this week. They’ve shown their ability in knock-out football this season by winning the Challenge Cup final, and its sudden death again at the weekend. I’m sure it will be a great game.”

Brown will be looking for his side to improve with ball in hand if they are to keep the Old Trafford dream alive;

“Our defence was great, but attack-wise it wasn’t so good. In the first half we completed at 52% and made 13 errors to their four, so to be able to be talking about a win on the back of a statistic like that must show we’re a pretty decent side and the boys should be proud about that.

“We have to make sure we improve a few things, freshen ourselves up and hit the ground running next time we take to the field.”
